Many regional and international media outlets, including Xinhua, the South China Morning Post, Laotian Times (Laos), as well as Western news agencies such as Bloomberg and AFP, emphasized that the 14th Central Committee of the Party unanimously elected Comrade To Lam, General Secretary of the 13th Central Committee of the Party, to continue serving as General Secretary of the 14th Central Committee. This was seen as a clear manifestation of a high degree of unity within the Communist Party of Vietnam, contributing to ensuring stability and continuity in the leadership of the country.

The electronic newspaper of the Latin American News Agency Prensa Latina of Cuba clearly stated that this information was announced at the closing session of the 14th Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam. The Congress adopted the motto “Unity - Democracy - Discipline - Breakthrough - Development,” defining the direction to lead the country into a new stage of development.

Prensa Latina has launched a special section titled “The 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam,” aiming to convey official information about this major event of Vietnam to the public.

Juventud Rebelde, the newspaper of the Cuban Communist Youth Union, published an article by journalist Luis Manuel Arce Isaac entitled “A Party and a Nation that Inspire,” affirming that the 14th Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam carries historical significance, marking a turning point in the development process and advancement of the Renovation cause of the Vietnamese people, more than half a century after national reunification.

Russia’s Pravda newspaper published an article entitled “The Party Cares About Everything,” emphasizing that under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, from a poor country devastated by war, Vietnam has undergone a strong transformation to become a dynamic developing economy, achieving impressive growth rates and continuously improving the living standards of its people. According to the author, one of the most important indicators reflecting Vietnam’s development success is the clear improvements in the people’s living conditions.

International public opinion has also paid attention to the fact that the 14th Congress consolidated the new-term Politburo with a structure assessed as harmoniously combining continuity and renewal, meeting leadership requirements in the context of Vietnam entering a new stage of development, moving toward national modernization and deep international integration.

Associated Press (AP) and The Economic Times assessed that the 14th Congress set long-term development goals, including an average gross domestic product (GDP) growth target of around 10% for the 2026-2030 period and the aspiration to become a high-income economy by 2045. AP noted that these goals reflect Vietnam’s strong development ambitions.

From an economic perspective, international public opinion has shown particular interest in Vietnam’s orientation toward transforming its growth model. Kyodo News Agency (Japan) highly appreciated the leadership of General Secretary To Lam in recent years, during which the Vietnamese Government significantly streamlined the public sector and “redrew administrative boundaries” to accelerate decision-making processes and unblock a series of major infrastructure projects.

According to AFP, the re-election of General Secretary To Lam as General Secretary of the 14th Central Committee demonstrates the Communist Party of Vietnam’s support for the growth-promotion and reform orientation that has been set out. AFP observed that during his tenure as General Secretary of the 13th Central Committee, General Secretary To Lam promoted numerous reforms aimed at enhancing governance and administration efficiency, which were described as comprehensive and far-reaching.

Bloomberg commented that General Secretary To Lam has driven many major adjustments and reforms in organizational structures and state management, regarded as the most significant changes in decades, with the aim of improving governance efficiency and creating momentum for economic development.

The South China Morning Post quoted General Secretary To Lam’s speech at the 14th Congress, in which he affirmed the continued commitment to maintaining unity and solidarity within the Party, while also emphasizing the substantial workload facing the new term. The newspaper noted that his re-election sends a positive signal of political stability, a factor that foreign investors consider one of Vietnam’s key advantages.

In addition to economic development goals, international media opinion has also paid close attention to the fact that the 14th Congress continues to place the fight against corruption, wastefulness, and negative practices at the core of its agenda.

Qatar’s Al Jazeera quoted General Secretary To Lam’s remarks at the 14th Congress, highlighting his determination to intensify anti-corruption efforts, viewing this as a consistent requirement to strengthen Party discipline and order, as well as the effectiveness of state governance.
